It can be extremely intimidating to plan an elk hunt from a logistical angle, let alone find somewhere good to elk hunt without really having the resources to put up trail cameras or scout ahead of time. I want everyone to make it happen and commit to the idea of coming out West. Regardless if you fly or drive the 2,000 miles one way, you'll never regret it! We sit down with a guy who is a hard...
